Description:

The filmmakers seem to lose track of the story line as this supernatural mecha saga lurches toward its climax. The all-important "path of the kai" that Yushiro and Miharu were following to Kyoto to escape their pasts and probable futures is forgotten as they take refuge in a slum inhabited by illegal Chinese immigrants. The sight of a lily of the valley triggers memories that may explain who Yushiro really is. This revelation has surprisingly little effect on him, but Miharu lapses into near-catatonia. Symbol continues its all-out search for her, but the mighty Gowa family isn't pursuing Yushiro as aggressively. Its leaders are busy working with the right-wing fanatic Nishida, whose plot to restore Japan's ancient purity is tied to unrest triggered by the United States ending grain exports. Fans will delight in these newest complications; detractors will dismiss them as muddying an already opaque narrative. Rated 12+: Violence, tobacco use. --Charles Solomon
